We would like to inform the participants that there is a possibility to be accommodated in the University dormitory facilities.
Accommodation arrangements can be made by contacting Mgr. Ivana Lovetinska via email ilovetinska@jcu.cz. Please use the subject line: “Cyano2026” and include the email cyano2026@alga.cz in CC. In the email, participants are kindly requested to indicate that the request is made in connection with Conference Cyano2026, specify the required accommodation dates (check-in and check-out), and provide basic personal details (e.g., full name and affiliation).
Participants who are willing to share a room are kindly requested to indicate this clearly in their email. Additionally, they may specify the appropriate name(s) if they are traveling with a colleague or acquaintance with whom they wish to share accommodations. Participants who do not have a preferred roommate may simply indicate their willingness to share accommodation.
Please be advised that participants who do not request shared accommodation may be accommodated individually and will be obligated to pay the full cost of the room in accordance with the guest accommodation conditions.
